An outstanding effort, rarely matched in cinematic history.....

The film is probably the finest example of top-notch story telling. Prisoners of war with no hope of release, freedom or of ever returning to their homeland or families, locked away in a hostile and brutal enemy state, left to their own devices.
The losers become the true heros - for their story is narrated in the most forceful way but with no heroics, no foolhardy or exaggerated success in attempts at escape but with total and complete realism unmatched in movie making.
Probably the movie of the century.... a must watch!
